Sports Revenue Analytics veteran Troy Kirby interviews the team behind the teams in Front Offices and Athletics Departments throughout the world, revealing an industry of specialists and minds unseen by the local or national media. Examined in this podcast are current or long-standing industry topics; tickets, business, analytics, moneyball, revenue, finance, economy, sales and jobs of the NCAA, NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL. Also included are topics surrounding third party vendors, sports business, revenue, marketing, mentoring interns, facilities, managing employees, as well as how to not only break into sports, but stay in the industry long-term. The often-invisible side of the industry is where the Tao of Sports Podcast attempts to pull back the elusive curtain, providing information both to industry insiders and those who want to work in sports.

NCAA Hockey may be a regional sport, but Holy Cross markets it as one of its primaries. Senior Associate Athletic Director of External Operations Joe Bertoletti is responsible for the sales and marketing of the athletic department, and discusses some of the nuances of selling a sport in a hockey-mad area, where there are few comparable programs to judge everything from pricing to marketing against. Bertoletti discusses raising up the profile of women's sports such as lacrosse and hockey at Holy Cross, despite the lack of the school's history in female sports. Twitter: @Jberto13
